Formula & methodology
Formula: Age difference = |date of birth 1 − date of birth 2|, expressed in years, months and days
The age difference is the time between two birthdates, calculated exactly using the calendar rather than by rounding.
- Enter both dates of birth.
- Find the absolute difference between them.
- Express it as whole years, then the leftover months and days.
Worked example: Someone born 1990-01-01 and someone born 1993-07-01 are 3 years and 6 months apart.
